Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The storm's heavy rainfall and associated flooding pose risks to regional commerce and infrastructure across the Gulf Coast. Warnings for southeast Texas, including Houston, included a Level 2 of 4 risk of flooding rainfall, with storm rainfall totals potentially reaching six inches in limited spots. Tropical storm-force wind gusts were also possible, capable of causing spotty power outages along the coast.
